Right on! Tomorrow is more of a quiet day for me which means I get to have some time to read ( given that my kids are nice to me). I am interested in finding out what fox tails is about :D

I was hoping to get some stories out this week but I am having troubles with my wrists lately which make regular movements hard, like just doing dishes, zipping up and unzipping coats. This morning was pretty bad were I had to ask my husband to cut my young daughters pancakes for her. It was very painful. I hope it gets fixed up soon as I can't write up a storm in this condition.

Hi @gardengnomepubs, I'm @checky ! While checking the mentions made in this post I noticed that @swolsome, @cryptochrille and @gruesome don't exist on Steem. Did you mean to write @swolesome, @cryptothrill and @huesome ?

Happy to join anytime I can find the time.

Is there any limit about length of stories posted?

Nope. No limit. Post to Steemit like you normally do and share your links. Stick around and chat in the chat rooms if you'd like.
